Collection was held up the past two weeks due to bad weather conditions. The conservation committee is unwilling to sendi the Boy Scouts after waste paper In wet or slippery weather because of the danger of serious accidents. The committee has already sold more than $100 In waste paper. Some of the money was paid the Boys Scouts with which to buy equipment, civilian defenses so far Included the payment of registration blanks, and about $40 remains In the conservation committee treasury. Necessary civilian defense expenses will be paid from the proceeds of the paper sale. "Save your waste paper for civilian defense. We'll come for It just as soon as the weather permits," said Thomas this week.

Church Broadcasts By Remote Control Amherst's Foursquare gospel sermons are now being broadcast directly from the church, asthe result of the installation of a remote control in the local church. The new control room was used for the first time February 21st, and daily since then the morn ing sermons have been sent, over the air directly from here. The local church, under the direction of Rev. Daniel E. Buser, began broadcasting its "Preach the Word Program" over WAKR, Akron a little more than a year'sharon game playing the winner ago. Rev. and Mrs. Buser, and Mrs. Peter Becker, pianist, together with a staff of musicians and singers, traveled the dis-stance to Akron of 52 miles four times a week. Four times a week the broadcasts were heard. The broadcasts now are from the main auditorium of the church. An amplifier and two microphones have been installed. A turntable, on which electrical transcriptions may be made, is also a part of the auditorium equipment. The control room, with the con- trol equipment, has been built. " is 8 by 7 feet in size, with triPle walls and double Plalc glass windows. The programs are being given daily at 7:15 a. m. and at mid- broadcasters have received letters from listenera in Oklahoma, Minncsotta, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Kentucky, W.

FQBMCTORY BUY UNITED STATES DEFENSE SONDS STAMPS The suit wiil be brought under a section of the Ohio Code which makes it mandatory upon council to bring the action. Comets Meet S. A. In Tourney Tonite Tonight is the night. It's Amherst and South Amherst at seven o'clock in the District Tournament being held at the Clearview gym. Records of their two previous games to the contrary. This game can be won by either team. Last week, this colmun recalled a case where Amherst had defeated a team in the Clearview tourney that had defeated them three times during the season. That team was South Amherst. Last week South Amherst defeated Ridgeville in the County Tourney's upset. Why? Probably over-confidence on the part of Ridgeville and good, very good basketball on the part of South Amherst. Of course, remembering the last Amherst - South Amherst game, the Comets should win. But it's anyone's game. And the future ahead of the winner is not what one would call bright. They will have to play the winner of the Lodi-Belden game. Belden, the probable loser in this game, has a record of 16 won and 3 lost. Lodi, Medina County Champs, have a record of 21 and 1. They must be good. The full schedule for tonight is as follows: 7:00 Amherst vs South Amherst; 8:10 Lodi vs Belden; 9:20 winner of Brecksville-Eaton vs winner of Spencer-Oberlin games. The Saturday night finals will find the winner of the Clearview' of the Dover-Lorain St. Mary's game at 7:30. At 8:45 it will be either Lodi or Belden against South Amherst or Amherst. LOSE BY TWO POINTS In their final tune up for this tournament the Comets didn't do so well. They bumped up against a scrappy fighting five from St. Mary's of Sandusky and lost 3Q-28. After holding a 16-8 lead in the first period the Comets saw play taken away from them until the last couple minutes when their closing rally almost tied the game. Slumska was the spark in this rally show ing his shooting eye for the first time this season. The reserves also lost 27-23, in a game that found them leading 8-0 at the first quarter, but unable to stave off the Sandusky final period rally. The loss of Brumback due to illness during the second half may have contributed to this defeat. The reserves thus ended theif season with 14 wins and four losses and a tie for the league re serve title. (They have a cup to prove it.) They lost but one league game, that to the Clear- view seconds whom they tied for the championship. The varsity has a very similar record, except they have no cup (as yet) to show for it. They have a 14-4 record and second place in their league. The won eight and lost two In league play and won six and lost two in non-league play. Tonight will be their 19th game. It may or may not be their last. If not Saturday's game will be maybe. Anyway, the best of luck to the Comets in their tournament play. It's pos sible to win a lot of ball games yet and we hope they will make the most of those possibilities. Mrs. George Menz will entertain circle two of St. Ann's society this evening, Thursday. The Junior Walther league will meet this evening, Thursday In the church parlors of the Lutheran church. The Laymen's Fellowship of the Congregational church will meet Friday evening. the mayor to employ legal Findings for the ?54UO was made by state examiners against the board of public affairs as It was constituted last year, against the contractor and the bonding company. The finding was against tl'em severally and collectively. Tuesday night's council meeting had an overflow crowd forcing the council to meet In the assembly hall to give all an opportunity to hear the proceedings. A flare-up otcured' when Gordon referred to those opposed to the plant as be-, ing sabateurs. Mayor Michael ordered Gordon out of the room. A number of the visitors spoke on the light plant, but visitors were not Invited to speak until after the council's business was completed to give Councllmen John Sablers and Clarence Dean a chance to get to work in time. Those who spoke at the meeting Included, besides Gordon, Honry Kane, William Edwards , Sam Wragg and Fred Jones. Prior to the opening of the meeting Councilman Clarence Dean tnd Engineer Floyd G. Browne discussed figures on the light plant. Browne explained to Dean his figures and calculations on the cost ot constructing the plant and probable operation costs. Very little of this discussion was heard by the audlance, but Dean said later that Browne's figures were very little different than those of other engineers. '- AbUing the amount still due- tbe building contractor, James O'-Laughllng, resident engineer, said tbe amount was somewhat indefinite due to unit prices In the contract, and the approval or reject ion of PWA of permission to remove certain Items from the contract. These included a crane and heaters which were eliminated, subject to PWA approval, before the priority rating was given the plant. Without these Items the retained percentage still due the contractor Is approximately $2,200. Mrs. E. E. Foster Heads Red Cross Mrs. E. E. Foster was re-elected chairman of the Amherst branch of the American Red Cross at the annual meeting held in the town hall last Friday night.

Church Broadcasts By Remote Control Amherst's Foursquare gospel sermons are now being broadcast directly from the church, asthe result of the installation of a remote control in the local church. The new control room was used for the first time February 21st, and daily since then the morn ing sermons have been sent, over the air directly from here. The local church, under the direction of Rev. Daniel E. Buser, began broadcasting its "Preach the Word Program" over WAKR, Akron a little more than a year'sharon game playing the winner ago. Rev. and Mrs. Buser, and Mrs. Peter Becker, pianist, together with a staff of musicians and singers, traveled the dis-stance to Akron of 52 miles four times a week. Four times a week the broadcasts were heard. The broadcasts now are from the main auditorium of the church. An amplifier and two microphones have been installed. A turntable, on which electrical transcriptions may be made, is also a part of the auditorium equipment. The control room, with the con- trol equipment, has been built.

In Tourney Tonite Tonight is the night. It's Amherst and South Amherst at seven o'clock in the District Tournament being held at the Clearview gym. Records of their two previous games to the contrary. This game can be won by either team. Last week, this colmun recalled a case where Amherst had defeated a team in the Clearview tourney that had defeated them three times during the season. That team was South Amherst. Last week South Amherst defeated Ridgeville in the County Tourney's upset. Why? Probably over-confidence on the part of Ridgeville and good, very good basketball on the part of South Amherst. Of course, remembering the last Amherst - South Amherst game, the Comets should win. But it's anyone's game. And the future ahead of the winner is not what one would call bright. They will have to play the winner of the Lodi-Belden game. Belden, the probable loser in this game, has a record of 16 won and 3 lost. Lodi, Medina County Champs, have a record of 21 and 1. They must be good. The full schedule for tonight is as follows: 7:00 Amherst vs South Amherst; 8:10 Lodi vs Belden; 9:20 winner of Brecksville-Eaton vs winner of Spencer-Oberlin games. The Saturday night finals will find the winner of the Clearview' of the Dover-Lorain St. Mary's game at 7:30. At 8:45 it will be either Lodi or Belden against South Amherst or Amherst. LOSE BY TWO POINTS In their final tune up for this tournament the Comets didn't do so well. They bumped up against a scrappy fighting five from St. Mary's of Sandusky and lost 3Q-28. After holding a 16-8 lead in the first period the Comets saw play taken away from them until the last couple minutes when their closing rally almost tied the game. Slumska was the spark in this rally show ing his shooting eye for the first time this season. The reserves also lost 27-23, in a game that found them leading 8-0 at the first quarter, but unable to stave off the Sandusky final period rally. The loss of Brumback due to illness during the second half may have contributed to this defeat. The reserves thus ended theif season with 14 wins and four losses and a tie for the league re serve title. (They have a cup to prove it.) They lost but one league game, that to the Clear- view seconds whom they tied for the championship. The varsity has a very similar record, except they have no cup (as yet) to show for it. They have a 14-4 record and second place in their league. The won eight and lost two In league play and won six and lost two in non-league play. Tonight will be their 19th game. It may or may not be their last. If not Saturday's game will be maybe. Anyway, the best of luck to the Comets in their tournament play. It's pos sible to win a lot of ball games yet and we hope they will make the most of those possibilities. Mrs. George Menz will entertain circle two of St. Ann's society this evening, Thursday.

Browne discussed figures on the light plant. Browne explained to Dean his figures and calculations on the cost ot constructing the plant and probable operation costs. Very little of this discussion was heard by the audlance, but Dean said later that Browne's figures were very little different than those of other engineers. '- AbUing the amount still due- tbe building contractor, James O'-Laughllng, resident engineer, said tbe amount was somewhat indefinite due to unit prices In the contract, and the approval or reject ion of PWA of permission to remove certain Items from the contract. These included a crane and heaters which were eliminated, subject to PWA approval, before the priority rating was given the plant. Without these Items the retained percentage still due the contractor Is approximately $2,200. Mrs. E. E. Foster Heads Red Cross Mrs. E. E.
